Doug GreeneFor the first time since he resigned at Rhea County High School almost two seasons ago, Doug Greene is going back there.
The Ooltewah football defensive coordinator will return Friday to where he was head coach for two years and, with all respect to current Rhea coach Mark Pemberton, laid much of the groundwork for the Eagles’ success the past two seasons.
“The kids knew how to work and took a lot of pride in what they were doing, and they were physical,” Greene said Saturday. “Mark Pemberton came in and brought the right offense.”
Pemberton is a wing-T technician, and it’s an offense patterned for physical and hard-working teams.
“If I had stayed, we would have been running something quite similar,” Greene said.
